Quarterback is first recruit at Kennesaw State

Kennesaw, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Start an FCS program and then fill it with
players.

Kennesaw State, which will join the Big South Conference as an associate member
in football for the team's inaugural season in 2015, began its first
scholarship class on national signing day Wednesday with quarterback Chandler
Burks from South Palding High in Douglasville, Ga.

Burks faxed his National Letter of Intent to coach Brian Bohannon and the
football office at 7:01 a.m. ET.

Soon after, the program kept growing. Within the first hour and a half of the
signing period, Kennesaw State received 16 signed letters.

Kennesaw State will give the Big South seven football-playing members in 2015.
The university's other athletic programs will remain in the Atlantic Sun
Conference, which doesn't sponsor football.
